New DocuseriesDaily Mail: The Cult Behind The Killer: The Andrea Yates Story
"This shocking true-crime documentary tells the story of Texas-born Andrea Kennedy, who was working as a nurse at a cancer hospital when she met Russell ‘Rusty’ Yates. After the pair were married, they began having children (more swiftly than they expected).
Noah came along first, in 1994, then John, then Paul, then Luke in 1999 - and it was a few months after Luke was born that Rusty remembers his wife starting to change, to withdraw and stare blankly into space. They had another child, though, and it was after the birth of Mary in 2000 that Andrea turned into a ‘completely different person’.
In 2001, she drowned all five children in the bath. This three-parter hears the story directly from Rusty, exploring the role of postnatal depression, schizophrenia, and the belief system taught by preacher Michael Woroniecki in the heartbreaking fate of the children."

The La Brújula Verde article details a recent study published in the Journal of Roman Archaeology by researchers Ian S. Wilson (Harvard) and Matthew McCarty (University of British Columbia). Their 3D photogrammetric analysis of the Močići site near Cavtat, Croatia, strongly challenges the long-held belief that the Roman cult of Mithras was uniformly practiced across the empire.
